Actually, "The Spoon River is a 147-mile-long (237 km) tributary of the Illinois River in west-central Illinois in the United States. The river drains largely agricultural prairie country between Peoria and Galesburg. The river is noted for giving its name to the fictional Illinois town in the 1916 poetry work Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters, who was from Lewistown, which is near the river."

I've been there. Many times. You should visit.

The song isn't "Edgar Lee Masters" stuff, or at least I can't find that he wrote it, but it IS very much in the theme of "Spoon River Anthology."

Surprisingly, LH, I actually did know what you were talking about. I just chose not to.
